overview of the topics below:!❖ Purpose of Instructional Design!

❖ Backwards Design!

❖ ADDIE Model!

❖ Rubrics and Assessment !

❖ Quality Matters!

❖ Accessibility!

❖ Open Educational Resources (OERs)

Purpose of…

Instructional DesignInstructional design is meant to be intentional with the main goals of:!!• Improve efficiency!!

• Improve effectiveness !!

It requires the use of creative analysis and keeping up to date with innovations in online learning environments.

Purpose

• Instructional design provides the designer, faculty member, or administrator an opportunity to utilize specific methods and tools to create an intentional and productive eLearning environment.

Instructional Design

Backwards Design❖ Backward Design involves

three stages:!❖ Identify the desired results!

❖ Determine acceptable levels of evidence!

❖ Design activities that will obtain desired results!

❖ Backwards design helps course content remain focused and organized, moving toward intended learning goals

ADDIE Model of Design!• The ADDIE Model is a good example of

collaborative instructional design.!

• ADDIE stands for:!

• Analyze!

• Design!

• Develop!

• Implement!

• Evaluate!

• The 5 phases are meant to work in a cyclical fashion to provide instructional designers the opportunity to revisit the phases as needed.

ADDIE Model of Design

The case for…

Rubrics & Assessment

"It's amazing how much better student's work has become since I created and shared the assignment rubric with them. Now that they know what is expected, they almost always exceed my expectations”!!http://www.tltgroup.org/OLI/workshopINFO/rubrics200907.htm

Rubrics & Assessments❖ A rubric is a scoring tool that communicates expectations of an

assignment to the intended participants!

❖ Creating rubrics, being too rigid can limit you, but not being specific enough defeats the purpose of a rubric entirely!

❖ To create a quality rubric, you must first have a quality assignment in which:!❖ Clearly articulates expectations!

❖ Defines timelines for submission!

❖ Relates assignment to learning objectives of the course!

❖ Rubrics need to have: Objectives, Standards, and Measurements.

Quality Matters❖ Quality Matters (QM) is a

program that is nationally recognized which includes a peer review process to certify the quality of online courses and component at currently over 700 institutions.!

❖ The QM created a rubric to provide the framework for quality assurance!❖ The rubric is unique in that it uses the

concept of alignment

The Core Standards…

Quality MattersThe QM Rubric’s eight general standards

include:!!Course Overview and Introduction!

Learning Objectives (Competencies)!Assessment and Measurement!

Instructional Materials!Learner Interaction and Engagement!

Course Technology!Learner Support!

Accessibility

Accessibility

❖ Accessibility in eLearning is critical.!

❖ Forms of disabilities to keep in consideration when designing electronic content:!❖ Auditory!

❖ Visual!

❖ Motor!

❖ Cognitive

AccessibilityRelevant U.S. Legislation related to Accessibility!

❖ U.S. Rehabilitation Act- Sections 504 and 508!❖ 504 states that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall be excluded from

participation based solely on that disability !

❖ 508 references technology by stating that when updating and producing electronic content, Federal Agencies must make produce accessible content for people with disabilities !

❖ Americans with Disabilities Act!❖ States that: “No otherwise qualified individual with disabilities in the United States . . . shall,

solely by reason of his/her disability be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance . . .”(Emphasis added) 29 USC 794.

Accessibility❖ So what does this mean for

instructors online instructors?!❖ Within reason, instructors must produce

online courses with accessibility squarely in mind.!

❖ Each instructor should ask themselves if the content they are producing can be accessed by a student with an auditory, visual, motor, or cognitive disability.!

❖ Utilize “Accessibility Checkers” within current computer tools (Microsoft Office, etc.) !

❖ Texas A&M has an excellent accessibility checklist that instructors can use that can be found at: https://iol.tamucc.edu/assets/eLearning_Checklist_for_Accessibility.pdf

Exploring…

Open Educational Resources

“He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.”!― Thomas Jefferson

Open Educational Resources❖ Open Educational Resources (OER) are

teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner. Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.!
